Who says he’s doing this?
The club allegedly owe him 140+ million, all we know (allegedly) is what’s disclosed in the end of year accounts, we have no idea what happens in real time between NUFC and Mash holdings.
He could quite easily be withdrawing club funds as he needs them, everyone but Justin Barnes, Keith Bishop and Lee Charnley of course are left scratching their heads.
Both the club and his holding company are privately owned so it’s not held to the same scrutiny as a PLC.
He can take money out in dividends if the club is making a profit. He has never done this. He can repay his loan but from my understanding he hasn't done this either. I hate Ashley as much as the next man but all this bullshit about people saying he is pulling money out of the club is utter bollocks.
He might not be pulling it out, but fuck knows where it's going, because there's no way it's been spent on the squad.
Presumably it's just disappearing.
Is it conceivable the money could be leaving the club through some sort of invisible membrane?
Possibly even out of the atmosphere.
